In this special New Year’s Eve episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer reflects on Genesis 32:13–23in The Holy Spirit’s Water, exploring Jacob’s strategic planning after his heartfelt prayer for deliverance. We discuss how Jacob balanced trusting God with wise preparation, teaching us to rely on faith and action when facing fear and uncertainty. Drawing from New Testament principles like counting the cost and being wise as serpents and harmless as doves, this episode offers biblical strategies for tackling life’s challenges with confidence and wisdom.
In The Add-Ins, we continue our series on God as the Perfect Leader by highlighting Principle #6—God Gave Boundaries. We examine how God’s command in Genesis 2:16–17 established boundaries for Adam’s protection and growth, illustrating the importance of guidelines and accountability in leadership today. From the Ten Commandments to modern examples of ethical standards, we show how boundaries create structure, trust, and focus for leaders and teams to thrive.
Whether you are looking for biblical encouragement to face your fears, leadership principles for the new year, or practical tips for setting godly boundaries, this episode will equip and inspire you as you enter 2025. Grab your coffee, and let’s grow together in faith and leadership!
